1. Zero-sum games and Abundance mindset: Create value instead of being an ill-wisher.
2. Be the dumbest in the room: Gives you the motivation to work harder than others.
3. Deciding b/w Tech and brick-and-mortar: Always choose Tech, ever growing opportunities.
4. Phoenix Analogy: Tech has transition phases, Aaj yaha Kal waha but it would feel new hamesha.
5. Tech is anxiety-inducing: Tech is competitive, but eventually everyone wishes to settle down where ever they feel their comfort zone lies.

Thanks Kirat for not getting demotivated by the critics of your attempt at teaching open source!!

This is true in my case, both of my roommates are better than me in studies or coding and i used to feel ki I m worser than both of them, but now i feel that ok it is a good thing to learn and grow

[atulmalakar]

Thank you Harkirat very very much <3 ! I needed to hear this. Love :)

[shiddh]

after watching this i forgot my pain of trying to get a job in tech, i am still working hard for my passion since last 6 years including my graduation and my 2 years of down phases and thanks to yo sir❤

Pheonix analogy is so apt, I am at 7 year mark and I'm anxious and feel a bit stuck. I think I will re-incarnate with the ideas that I have.

[saravanprathi]

Such an underrated video! You are awesome mate!!

[chiragsharma]

One learns all of this with experience and time. Mental health is really important especially someone who is in either already in tech or someone who is trying to get into tech. I'm currently trying to get into Data Science but still follows harkirat channel to know about open source and other things. Anyone else here wants to get into AI put your comments here. Let me know as well.

The first lesson I learn from one of the senior about the crab mentality in India, and the lesson about the brick and motor now I am seeing from the perspective of yours and realize that I want to stay in tech even my family and friends have the good local business, earning good sum of money.

[mayanksinghshishodia]

2:30 Exactly what mindset I have developed over the years from a zero sum mindset, Glad to have been grown the good way much over the years :)

[govindsharma]

Kan kar gal sun mkhna bro got some chill 🤘🏻

[arshs]

Thanks harkirat for the information. I love the blend that you share some life advice in general not just related to packages and tech. This helped to clear my thoughts a lot!

[siddharthsaurav]

man.. u have such great insights for the life and career. glad you are here on youtube. :)

This phoenix thing is not easy when you got Kids and family, I think it gets harder to unlearn and relearn new tech skills once you are close to 40 year old and with your kids it is very hard to move places like moving to Dubai etc. But one thing you are 100% right that even the dumbest of techies can easily reach 1 lakh per month ultimately which is much better than brick and mortar. I mean, even after not learning anything new i.e. still working on old legacy licensed technologies, for past 6-7 years and still no promotions (intentional as I don't want managerial roles), so working as a developer - I am gettting 30 lakh per annum !! -- pretty sure this is the easiest money out there !!!! 40 hrs a week || 20 leaves per year || 10 holidays per year || "work from home" --- and doing work which is closest to anything future will hit people "AI" "WEB3" "ALL INTERNET STUFF" -- techies life is always better than brick and mortar !!
